This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom twin home is situated on a quiet street near newer construction homes and just a short walk to downtown Media. Step inside to a welcoming living room that flows into the dining room and then into the spacious, fully updated kitchen. The kitchen also offers convenient side-door access to the fenced-in backyard, making it ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing. The second floor features one bedroom and the full bathroom, while the third floor is dedicated to the second bedroom, currently configured in a loft-style layout. Opportunities like this are hard to find: a move-in-ready home in the Media area with a great fenced-in backyard, a new roof, new boiler, new windows, a new kitchen, and many other major updates, all at this price point and without the restrictions or monthly fees of a condo or homeowner association.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
